MISSION DISTRICT: Spirits were high but arrests low in the Mission after the 49ers Super Bowl XVI win. We absolutely can't endorse roof surfing on a 1970s Chrysler Cordoba. But if you're going to do it, wear a full Paul Hofer uniform complete with helmet.

MISSION DISTRICT: While there was no visible violence or vandalism, it did look like someone was filming a Leonard Bernstein musical on the streets of the Mission after the Super Bowl XVI victory. Autos in 1982 were better equipped to handle people standing on the hoods.

MISSION DISTRICT: Herb Alpert's brother celebrates the 49ers win. From the Jan. 25, 1982 Chronicle article: *In the Mission District, a seemingly endless stream of slow-moving cars choked traffic on Mission Street from 15th Street on the north to Army Street on the south.*

MISSION DISTRICT: This may look like bad parenting, but in 1982 we all rode while hanging on the outside of cars. We took entire driving tests in the early 1980s with with arms hanging out the window waving a foam finger. In other news, I had that pennant.

MISSION DISTRICT: Not sure if this is a Camaro, Trans Am or a Pontiac Firebird. Either way, it's bitchin'. These enthusiastic 49ers fans were in several photos, with no visible driver. We'll assume the car was piloted like KITT from Knight Rider.

MISSION DISTRICT: Big points to the owner of the Mystery Machine, for use of masking tape to outfit his van with 49ers signs. We found a second van with the score spray-painted on the side. Dude in the back is holding a ubiquitous-in-1982 *Forty F**kin' Niners* T-shirt.

COW HOLLOW: Cow Hollow's hardest celebrate the 49ers Super Bowl XVI by climbing on top of a Muni bus on Union Street. The Chronicle reported that a Christmas tree was set ablaze, and a sign torn down in the district. The bus was spray-painted but the driver unharmed.

COW HOLLOW: From the Chronicle: *Police arrived at the scene and ordered the revelers down from the bus. They complied - only to jump on the police cruiser. ... Police eventually escorted the bus away with a few broken windows and 49ers slogans painted on its side.*

CASTRO DISTRICT: San Francisco 49ers fans party at Castro and 18th streets outside Leathers, after the Super Bowl XVI victory. The Chronicle reported thousands congregating in the Castro, but no arrests.

CASTRO DISTRICT: More 49ers fans partying in the Castro. Again, don't try this at home. These celebrants are violating about 27 motor vehicle codes. But if you are going to pile on top of a car after a football win, a Chevy El Camino is an excellent choice.

COW HOLLOW: San Francisco 49ers fans celebrate Super Bowl XVI by getting up close to a cop car on Union Street near Laguna. This seems like a very dicey situation, but this crowd wasn't here for violence, as you're about to see ...

COW HOLLOW: In the YouTube/smart phone era, this would be national news. I'd love to see this guy's report: *The crowd was closing in on me, and swigging from one of their bottles was the only way to preserve my safety.* We'll assume that's sparkling cider ...

MISSION DISTRICT: This guy had it all: A sweet van, a beer and a victory for his Super Bowl champion 49ers. Traffic was tight in the Mission, but reports of arrests came from other parts of the city.

MISSION DISTRICT: A broader view of the Mission. District after the win. There was a lot of slow moving traffic, open containers and people hanging out of cars. I'm not sure what was playing at the New Mission, but the Strand had Bonnie and Clyde and Shampoo.
